Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia': 'Frisia' Black Locust: ENH-729/ST571, 2/2014

Abstract

A fast-growing cultivar of the native deciduous locust, `Frisia' Black Locust is probably capable of reaching 30 to 50 feet tall with a spread of 30 to 40 feet. The upright growth and short, irregular branches cast light shade below the tree, allowing a lawn to thrive. The 6 to 14-inch-long, dull, yellow leaves, made up of multiple leaflets, are some of the last to appear in spring and often drop early in the autumn,
just barely fading to a sickly yellow/green before dropping. Original publication date November 1993.
